bootstrap error

[edonyzpc]

I try to install TPM2.0-TSS on Redhat 7.1 with Linux kernel 3.10.0-229.30.1.69.x86_64.
First I install the dependencies

• autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69
• automake (GNU automake) 1.13.4
• m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.16
• libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.2
• cmocka 1.0.1
• glibc-2.17-111.e1.x86_64
• glibc-devel-2.17-111.e1.x86_64
• gcc (GCC) 4.8.3 20140911
• gcc-c++-4.8.3-10.x86_64
• pkgconfig-0.27.1-4.x86_64

Second I run bootstrap, but I got this error. And I follow the solution of issue#185, but it didn't work for me.

What can i do to solve this?

#185 was resolved by installing the autoconf-archive package. The list of dependencies you've installed doesn't include this package. Do you have it installed?

[edonyzpc]

Yeah, I have already installed this package from autoconf-archive-2013.06.09.tar.gz with ./configure; make; make install command. Could it be the pthread or the not matched version who trigger this error?

Is there any way to check details of bootstrap step by step? More specifically, how can I locate this error and debug it?

[edonyzpc]

Finally, I found that autoconf-archive package is to blame. Here is what I have done.

cp /usr/local/share/aclocal/* /usr/share/aclocal/

And bootstrp worked. By the way, thank you @flihp .

Glad you got that sorted @Edonym. I didn't realize that RedHat had removed their autoconf-archive package recently and that you were installing from a source release. Someone put together a few spec / cfg files for building an RPM which may help in the future: https://github.com/wendall911/autoconf-archive
